Your Money Personality
Have you ever wondered why you use money in a particular way? Many forces impact the development of your money personality. You make purchases to fulfill desires and to make yourself feel a certain way. Some spending influences include: advertising, media, society, friends, family, and easy credit. One way to evaluate your approach to money is to identify your attitudes about money.
Where do you fit?
- HOARDER The hoarder likes to save, budget and prioritize
- SPENDER The spender likes to spend
- PLANNER The planner is the nitty-gritty, take-it-one-step-at-a-time type
- DREAMER The dreamer hatches passionate schemes, but has no idea how to make them come true
- MERGER The merger wants to pull all of the couple’s money together
- SEPARATIST The separatist wants at least some of his/her own money
